Abstract
Based on materials of the First General Population Census of the Russian Empire, the marital structure of the population of the Komi Region is considered. A comparison of the marital status of rural and urban population is carried out. The gender and age differences in marital structure are analyzed. As a result of the study, the proportion of all categories of marital status, both men and women, were determined by individual age groups. Peculiarities in the demographic behavior of the population due to ethnicity and social status are revealed. In rural areas, the younger marriageable age up to 20 years was significantly dominated by people who had never been married, which was a consequence of the fairly mature marriageable age that had developed in the Komi Region. A tendency was also revealed to increase the number of widows among women from the age of 30-39, with the sharpest jump at the age of 50. Among men, the number of widowers increased slightly, a jump in this category of persons was observed in the age group of 60 years and older. The asymmetry of marital status was more pronounced in the urban population in the age groups of 40 years and older than in the rural population.
